A few weeks ago I flew up to London to go and see my NFL team the San Francisco 49ers play the Denver Broncos in London. While I was there I took the time to check out the RAF Museum. Absolutely amazing museum and well worth the visit.

Here are some of the pics I took at the museum. Unfortunately I had my camera set wrong, so some of the pics are very dark and did not come out well. Oh well, that just gives me another excuse to fly to London and retake the pics!

I have broken them down by type of aircraft and the year the actual aircraft was built.

de Havilland Mosquito B35 (1945)





Fokker DVII (1918)



Hawker Hart II (1931)



Kawasaki Ki-100-1b (1945)







Messerschmitt Bf 109G-2 (1942)











Messerschmitt Me 262A-2a Schwalbe (1945)









North American P-51D Mustang (1945)







Sopwith F1 Camel (1918)

I will let you know.

I had no time to really do anything this time around other than the museum because of the game.

Looks like a good stop while in London.

Anyone know if Black 6 (the desert 109) is being (or has been) brought back to flying condition?

Nice shots Adler!! If you put the shots through Microsoft Paint you may be able to lighten them up. The first set is great. Course, then you won't have a excuse to go back.

Black 6 was brought back to flying condition, later crashed on landing and then rebuilt for static display.

Cool pictures.
If that is a life size mannequin next to the Ju-87 it is a much bigger plane than I realized.

It's a superb Museum, but when it was last 'modernised', the photographic / lighting conditions were ruined, especially in the BoB Hall.

That was my only complaint. For most of the aircraft it is terrible to get good photos. The lighting sucks and the aircraft are so close together that you can't single them out or even get shots of the whole aircraft when it comes to the larger ones especially in the bomber hall.

Space is at a premium at Chino too. Most of the planes are practically parked right on top of one another. Better than at the scrap yard though.
